I cannot like this post enough, it is everything that is wrong with the sport. Would love to see a Danny King go around Ipswich on a two valve or even a upright Jawa 897 and compare the times bet there won’t be much in it if at all.

Poland get good crowds and I bet they don’t play music from the bloody 70s

Tracks are still playing the same as Lakeside were when they closed eight years ago and they were old even back then. They never learn.

Track looks like it well watered but the dreaded Clay has been mentioned so we shall have to wait and see if this actually provides an outside line.

Won’t be a bomber track tonight though, even if there is shale down, trying to keep moisture in it will be almost impossible, and once the inside turns into a blue groove watering because too much of a hazard.

As soon they said there is more clay in it my head dropped, no wonder tracks are getting worse and cannot cope with the weather, but of course shale costs money and clay is much cheaper, never mind the fact the actual track is your biggest asset. As others have said, the racing here is not as good as it used to be, Lynn used to have quite a reputation for being one of the best tracks in the Country.

Much better meeting than the bore fest last week at Oxford. I like Paco, but hes not a premiership second string.

Buster must have missed the forecast or it changed late in the day otherwise this would have been called off.

Lyon’s says about they haven’t raced at home for a while, I wonder why that is? 😉

They need one of those super sopers like they use in cricket and even some football clubs have them now.

BSN didn’t cover themselves in glory much either when they moaned about people complaining about the track being dusty. You could see from race one this was not going to be good, and why they sent the tractor out I have no idea, there was nothing to grade.

Simple, click top right, scroll down to ignored users, type in the name of the poster you wish to ignore, job done. It’s like a cloaking device, they become invisible.

Well done Glasgow, as always Oxford make it a slick dust bowl and it backfired on them.

Not Poole but some tracks won’t run if the all night gas station down the road is open 😉

Am expecting another dust bowl and whilst I don’t care for the World Cup, there is no reason why injury’s aside, the meeting cannot be completed well with 90 mins, Frank Ebdon could have done that and you would still have time to get home if you lived within five miles.

Despite the scoreline, still some good racing. Dear BSN, do you have to show Kings Lynn next week? Can’t you show another meeting from this track instead 😉

Leicester look shocking, so far off the pace, only Dan Thompson and Ryan Douglas look ok.

Klindt is one of the biggest gating tarts, it doesn’t matter what track it is, you can’t say it’s because Plymouth is small because Nick used to ride for Wolves which was another track where throttle control and skill is more important than raw speed. Would have liked BSN to show this, and it sounded like a cracker with it coming down to the final race.

I think that’s a fair comment, he’s 26 been riding for quite a few seasons and doesn’t look like he could ever be more than a very average second division reserve, if only the sport had a bigger crop of teenagers vying for places, it would benefit everyone, it can’t be fun travelling hundreds of miles knowing it’s likely your going to be switched around and score nothing.

No club should have a blank week, the fixtures should either state the opponent or state the date as reserved rain off, if there is no meetings to catch up on then there is no meeting, if any home meeting has been called off, they will use the first available reserved rain off date. Further to that, if any club has not completed all its home matches at the cut off date, those meetings are automatically awarded to the away teams.

I am an exiled fan with no club to support and haven’t been to a live meeting since Lakeside closed in 2018 but I have used BSN in the past and indeed this season, any funds the clubs get from the likes of me is bonus because I am never going to go to a meeting in person unless the Hammers come back at some point.

I think BSN do a good job trying to feature what at times is a terrible product.

Some promoters haven’t got a clue how to run meetings, they think people have unlimited attention spans and can watch meetings that takes hours to run. Its like they said on 360 speedway this week, its needs to be bang bang bang, slick operation and always something to keep the public interested between races. They are doing the same things and playing the same music they were 30 years ago.
